[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This forum is not convincing me TJ is worth it beyond the right fit for unique kids who need the academic hyperfocus. (That can be great for super smart kids, but unique also being good and bad, as in possible weirdo later in life). Also, the English written here by some self-identified TJ parents is incredibly poor. Seriously asking: does this community resemble normal life or is it surreal?[/quote] A significant part of the TJ community is multilingual, with many families speaking a language other than English at home. During last fall’s inaugural session for the incoming class, the principal shared that TJ families speak over 40 different languages at home. Our family is of Irish descent, and to this day, we regret not being able to speak Irish (Gaeilge), a language that was never passed down by my immigrant great-grandfather. [/quote]
